The Goalpost Keeps Moving

In this episode of Financial Clarity for Doctors, hosts Rachelle Vanderzanden and Corey Janoff discuss how our expectations adjust over time.  If we continue to want more and more, how will we ever be satisfied with what we already have?

Discussions in this episode include:

• Nostalgia about the “good ol’ days”.
• Comparisons of expected standard of living in the middle of the twentieth century and today.
• How personal expectations change over time. Most folks don’t want to live like college students as working adults!
• The idea that rising expectations leads to more work and money to meet those expectations.
• Ways to potentially curb your expectations so you are less reliant on money and work.

Much of financial planning is behavioral.  If you can adjust your behavior, it may be much easier to meet your goals.
